A photographic lifestyle

Not just any ladder, my laws of attraction ladder!

I’ve said it time and time again, “I do not mind the occasional street find.” As long as that street find can be useful as a DIY project or to help demonstrate ways on styling interiors. Months later if I decide that I don’t like my freebie, no problem and no money lost. I just set those things right back on the street side for the next person to love.

For months I’ve been telling myself that I’d like a new ladder. You know, sending my verbal wishes in thoughtful motion and applying the ‘Laws of attraction’ theory. Well it happened. Last week while walking home from an errand, I decided to cut through the apartment complex across from us and as I exited their gates a ladder lay on its side and tucked between some particle boards against a tree. Ahhhh! Insert heaven chimes; my new ladder! Laws of attraction does work! (I’ve been really lucky my whole life thanks to my belief.)

I don’t consider myself a rustic kind-a-gal but I am someone who is very eclectic with my styling choices. I feel ladders are a fun and unique way for decorating your space! We have a black one along our corridor for jackets and bags and a white one in the bathroom for our towels. This one is much taller and sturdier than our bamboo counterparts. Frankly I’m loving its appearance as-is and have decided to let it alone. Paint spots, nude varnish, wood chips and all. It’s so strong and sturdy; would also be perfect for someone with a mezzanine or library! This ones a keeper although if I ever become tired of it, I’ll be sure to pass it along to someone who can really use it.

I’ve shared some examples on how you can style a ladder. There’ll be more examples on my instagram in future posts.
